The Birth of Dark Jake

Dark Jake was created after the Mystery Man captured Jake and exposed him to the power of the disk. Spike and co. defeated him, turning him back to normal.

If you collect all the presents for one character, he becomes playable in VS mode only. He has stronger attack power than all the other characters, and like his normal form, he has a cloned moveset to Spike.
